Closed Save Remploy Factories- Keep disbaled People in Work.

Closed on

54 Remploy factories face threat of closure when funding runs out in April 2013. GMB want all the factories to stay open working at 100% capacity rather than 50%. This will cost the Treasury less than closing them and putting workers on welfare. We need help to get public bodies to place work at Remploy under EU Rules as now allowed.

Keep disabled people in Work and allow disabled people- old and young- to have a future; by keeping Remploy factories open, you are supporting Disabled people.
